  Plants vs. Zombies is a classic garden-themed tower defense game by Popcap Games that infected everyone’s PCs back in 2009 before it got ported to mobile and re-published by EA.

  Build an army of 49 plants to attack 26 varieties of zombies in 50 frantic levels. Supported by ads, this version of the game is a great way to get stuck into what becomes a complex strategy adventure for free. It's a humorous treat.

  While there's not much in the way of new content, it's nearly impossible not to recommend this Vita release as it's among the best versions of the game to date. Not only does the game fit the PlayStation Vita like a glove, it's still one of the most engaging tower defence games ever crafted and the perfect game for those times when you want something you can quickly get into and play.

  Plants vs. Zombies is an interesting balance of casual and ‘core gameplay that’s already charmed thousands of players on other gaming platforms. I can’t argue with its established popularity. Its transition onto the Vita shows that Sony isn’t afraid of repurposing an older hit which, while not necessarily technically impressive, does offer solid gameplay with broad appeal. Personally, I’d prefer something a little fresher on my Vita though.

  The game itself is a faithful port. A port that looks better than ever due to the Vita’s OLED screen. The adorable zombies, slowly encroach upon the angry defensive plants in an all-out war. For those of you who have never played the game before, it’s part puzzle, part tower-defense-ish, 100% great time. It’s approachable for kids and adults alike, and is easy enough to master, but deep enough for serious strategy.

  Plants Vs. Zombies is another must-have game for the iPhone/iPod Touch, especially at the more-than-acceptable asking price of three bucks. It's a limited time offer, so don't miss out. This is a battle for the ages.

  Controls are just as easy to pick up on the 360 controller as they are on other platforms. If you've somehow missed the previous versions, the inclusion of co-op and multiplayer makes the 360 version of Plants vs. Zombies a worthy selection.

  If you've never played Plants vs. Zombies before, then this is - wait for it - a no-brainer. The game is an amazing gigglefest of unbridled fun, overflowing with game modes and replayability. You don't have be a fan of tower defense to love every last minute of it, either. If you've already played plenty of PvZ, though, it's a bit trickier. The Versus mode strikes a perfect balance of challenge, skill, and smacktalk, but it's probably not enough to justify a repurchase all by itself.

  For all its humor, endless replay value and subtle, accessible strategy, it's no wonder that Plants vs. Zombies remains one of the best games to come out of the casual gaming market. The Xbox Live Arcade version is a capable port which carries across the fun of the title brilliantly. If you've been waiting for the game to arrive on a console before taking the leap, you will not be disappointed.
